Little Liz’s Training Blog

Hello there internet. I wanted to say that, guess what, I HAVE been exercising! I just haven’t been blogging about it for a few reasons:

I forgot to mention a few things…
First… I apparently entered my swim time wrong when I registered for the triathlon. Sarah says I am going to be starting with the pro’s, which, is probably going to end up being a very bad thing. I thought I was supposed to time my 100m swim and then [...]

I just bought a tri suit for the triathlon. I don’t even have a great pair of running shoes. Actually my plan for the day is to push hard on the swim & the bike and then if I really have to, I will allow myself to walk part of the run (ummm, I’m being [...]

I went swimming with Tommy last night. I helped him work on his form and I impressed him by swimming more than 50 yards at a time. He swam 50 yards and said “whew, this is hard! I’m tired!” he he.
It was a quick swim, not [...]

Anyway, since I had been to the YMCA this morning, I suggested we run the [...]
